89 Suburban 3/4 Ton Rear Disc Brake Conversion

Anyone seen a kit to convert the rear drum brakes to disc for the 3/4 ton Suburbans? I've only seen them for the 1/2 ton.
Thanks.

Try TSM (The Street Rod Manufacturer) in Colorado. I got my disc brake conversion kit for $279 with the brackets and rotors from them. Brackets only are $110.

http://www.azkickin.com Has a kit they make. They also have a parking brake bracket they are working on. Tell them I sent you.

Here is a write up on their half ton kit. The 1 ton kit is not much different. You use a 3/4 ton front disk from a 4x4 and it installs simular to how you install it on a 12 SF axle.
